Pashmina shawls are woven from the fine undercoat of the Changthangi goat, also known as the Pashmina goat, found in the high altitudes of the Himalayas. The soft and warm fibers collected during the molting season are spun into yarn to create these luxurious shawls. Pashmina is highly valued for its softness, warmth, and lightweight characteristics.
'Decomposition' for decaying plant and animal organic material. 'Detritus' for inorganic decaying material in soil. Hope this helps, John

Pashmina is not banned...It is another wool called "Shahtoosh" which is banned. The reason for its ban is that the antelopes "Chiru" are killed to get the wool required to make a small shawl (3 antelopes for 1 small shawl). Hence Chiru population have reduced drastically. To protect the species, Govt of india placed a Ban on Shahtoosh shawls in 2002. Since pashmina and Shahtoosh products are similar, pashmina products pay due to ban on Shahtoosh.
The previous explanation is nonsense. Seta is the Italian word for 'silk'. 'Pashmina' is derived from the ancient Persian word, 'pashm' meaning 'very fine fleece'. Moghul emperors first refined 'cashmere' or 'pashmina' goats wool into something ressembling the soft, fine wool we find today when they invaded Kashmir. 'Pashmina' is the word that Indians and Kashmiris have used to describe cashmere for centuries. In fact it was Lebanese traders supplying fine pashmina shawls to the French elite (the likes of the Empress Josephine) who first called 'Pashmina' Cachemire, after the country of origin. So the correct technical description in the UK and USA for your pashmina stole would be 70 % cashmere, and 30 % silk... That is, if it is made of cashmere and silk. There have been many adulterations since the world jumped on this band-wagon. The first fashion 'pashminas' which I popularised in the early 1990's through my fashion brand Sophia Swire London, were a combination of the very finest 'pashmina' / cashmere (70%) and the very finest silk (30%) and they were hand woven and hand dyed in Nepal. This quality is no longer manufactured anywhere. Sophia Swire
Decaying material in the soil is called, "Humus". (HYOO-muss)
The loose material is called sediment. It may include bits of rock, minerals, and organic material like plant and animal remains. This sediment can accumulate in layers over time and eventually become sedimentary rock through processes like lithification.
Dead and decaying material produced in soil is called organic matter. This material consists of decomposed plant and animal residues, such as leaves, roots, and organisms, which add nutrients to the soil and improve its structure.
The nitrogenous material in an animal substance that is necessary for body building is called protein. Protein is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues and organs. It is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
the decaying matter in soil is called humus.
The large round part in an animal cell is called the nucleus. It contains the genetic material (DNA) that controls the cell's activities and is responsible for cell reproduction and growth.
Bacteria belong to a group called prokaryotes which have no membrane bound genetic material (a nucleus).
When plants and animals (any living matter) decay, their remains are in the soil, in the material called humus.
